Efficacy of Coupling Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Physical Therapy to Reduce Upper-Limb Spasticity in Patients With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: rTMS associated with PT can be beneficial in reducing poststroke spasticity. However, more studies are needed to clarify the clinical changes underlying the reduction in spasticity induced by noninvasive brain stimulations.

Letter to the Editor on "The Effectiveness of the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Method on Gait Parameters in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review ”
We read with interest the article by Gunning et al ( “The Effectiveness of the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Method on Gait Parameters in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review”)1 and were moved to comment on the authors’ conclusions. The abstract of this article stated, “Current research suggests that PNF is an effective treatment for the improvement of gait parameters in patients with stroke.” Publication of such a statement led us to review the articles cited. We do not concur that these articles provide sufficient evidence that PNF is an effective treatment for improving gait parameters i...

Effects of Action Observation Training in Gait Speed of Stroke Patients: A Case Series
Stroke is considered as a primary cause of disability and results to problems in activities of daily living. Action Observation Training (AOT) is an emerging cost-effective physical therapy intervention (PT) which involves facilitation of mirror neurons through viewing of video clips of a healthy individual performing an activity similar to that of the desired task. This intends to describe the effects of AOT used in conjunction with conventional PT interventions in gait speed of stroke patients.

Benefits of Specialized Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation in a Skilled Nursing Facility: Comparison to Nationwide Outcomes
To characterize the benefits of specialized, multi-disciplinary, neuro-intensive rehabilitation provided to individuals with stroke in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) evaluating change in Minimum Data Set (MDS) functional outcomes and discharge location. A descriptive comparison to national SNF data for individuals with stroke reported by the American Physical Therapy and American Occupational Therapy Association's “Therapy Outcomes in Post-Acute Care Settings” (TOPS) study is presented.

EEG Parameter During Motor Imagery for Assessing the Functional State of Stroke Patients
Stroke is one of the most prevalent pathologies around the world, with severe effects to the motor and sensory system that hinder the daily living activities. The current physical therapy techniques have evident limitations and, in some cases, have an innocuous effect for non-cooperative or strongly impaired patients who only can receive passive movement treatments. New rehabilitation technologies are emergingto brake the current limitations, like Brain Computer Interface (BCI).

Clinician Adherence to a Standardized Assessment Battery Across Settings and Disciplines in a Poststroke Rehabilitation Population
Abstract: Objectives: (1) To examine clinician adherence to a standardized assessment battery across settings (acute hospital, inpatient rehabilitation facilities [IRFs], outpatient facility), professional disciplines (physical therapy [PT], occupational therapy, speech-language pathology), and time of assessment (admission, discharge/monthly), and (2) to evaluate how specific implementation events affected adherence.Design: Retrospective cohort study.Setting: Acute hospital, IRF, and outpatient facility with approximately 118 clinicians (physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists).Participa...
